Jamie Oliver Withdraws Children's Book After Criticism from Indigenous Australians

The book was criticized for perpetuating stereotypes and misrepresenting First Nations cultures, leading to its removal from shelves.

Jamie Oliver's children's book, 'Billy and the Epic Escape,' faced backlash for its portrayal of an Aboriginal character with mystical powers.
Critics, including the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Corporation, called the book culturally insensitive and harmful.
Complaints highlighted issues such as the trivialization of First Nations spirituality and the use of incorrect Indigenous languages.
Oliver and Penguin Random House UK apologized and admitted to an 'editorial oversight' for not consulting Indigenous communities.
The book has been withdrawn from sale worldwide, and Oliver expressed deep regret for the offense caused.
